Monday, July 15, 2013

From the phenomenal growth of multinational and transnational corporations to the rise of the “BRIC” (Brazil, Russia, India and China), professionals with knowledge and experience in global business are in demand more than ever.

This fall, Point Park University introduces a 36-credit M.B.A. degree in global management and administration that will provide students with a thorough understanding of global business theories as well as the opportunity to engage in real-world, international business practices. Students will gain in-depth knowledge about current realities and demands unfolding in the global marketplace.

“This program was created to help enhance the understanding of global business practices and of transnational, cultural, and political economy forces so that students can analyze essential factors at work and translate them into successful corporate practices,” said Dimitris Kraniou, Ph.D., professor of international economics and global management and chair of the Department of Global Management and Organization.

Point Park is the only university in the tri-state area to offer an M.B.A. degree in global management. Some of the courses taught in the program include “Global Environment of Business,” “International Economics,” “Cultures of International Business” and “Managing the Multinational Enterprise.”
